Writed
Chat with your journal. Nothing leaves your browser
Most journal apps say "encrypted." Writed keeps your journal entirely in your browser, with AI that runs on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Ask, "What did I decide about the job offer?" and get answers with citations from your own entries. Export anytime as Markdown. Free and open source. Pro syncs to your own Google Drive. We run zero servers.
I wanted a journal I could actually ask questions, without sending my private thoughts to the cloud. So I built Writed.
Your journal stays in your browser, and the AI runs on your device. No account, no upload, no tracking. You can even open DevTools and see that nothing leaves your device.
Everything is stored as plain Markdown, works offline, and you can export anytime. Optional Pro adds Google Drive sync and cloud AI using your own API key.
I'd love to hear your thoughts: would you trust an on-device AI journal? 🙏
Journaling on-device with no account feels like how it should have always been. Loved that the AI cites the exact entries it pulls from, so I can actually trust the answers.
Love the local-first approach and the on-device AI with citations is a really thoughtful touch. One thing I'd love: a way to tag entries or auto-detect recurring themes like "work," "relationships," "health," so I can ask broader questions like "how has my mood about work shifted this year?" instead of only pulling exact past phrases.
A small thing that would make me stick with it long term is searchable tags or a way to link entries. Right now the AI does the heavy lifting, but sometimes I just want to glance through and find something by a tag I wrote myself without needing to ask in natural language. Even a simple #tag sidebar would do the job.
Congratulations on the launch! qq How does the local model hold up when the journal grows large and you're asking it to recall across months of entries?
on-device is the right call for trust, but it flips the failure mode - instead of worrying about a company leaking my data, I'd be worrying about clearing browser storage or switching machines and just losing years of entries with no cloud copy anywhere. is export-as-markdown meant to be the backup discipline users are expected to build themselves, or is there some local-first sync (not cloud AI, just storage) planned for people who don't want to remember to export?
